Mon, 29 Jun 2009 13:42:28 +0000http://donsbot.wordpress.com/?p=267#comment-121I am curious about plans for the inclusion of a linear algebra package (e.g. HMatrix) and a plotting package (such as Chart or Gnuplot). I am considering using Haskell as the language for a course on computational neuroscience. This is the sort of course that is usually taught using matlab/octave or python/java. However, I think Haskell would be preferable since the code these beginning students would write would look more like the equations they would be reading about (most of them come from a psychology background and don’t know any programming languages – so why not start with Haskell?). If I could tell them to install the Haskell Platform and know it had all the packages they would need, it probably work.
